All bikes do.

The Buell just so happens to have lengthened the "lever" so to speak that forces their bike to stand up.

A two disc set up with the same diameter would likely cause the same effect.

I guess they thought it was worth the trade off for such fast steering.

Then there was the whole CEII 'Fire crotch' incident at Imola...

Back to the GSXR Suzuki have upped the anty at Buell as the 1125RR isnt offered with lights and signals...Yet...

I'm not sure you understand why the 1125's dont use oil in the swingarm. The oil tank is intergrated into the crankcase like Japanese and other bikes. The XB's, as you all love to point out, uses a derivitive of a Harley engine. They have a need for a seperate oil tank. There was no reason to put the oil in the swing arm on the 1125.

Oh you're right Marko! I'm also mixing last year's "cheater' Buells with this years. They tried to campaign aircooled 1200s in the Formula Extreme class (600s) and didn't do very well. Anyway, I'm actually sorry, I didn't wish to descend into "Buell bashing" territory. As I've said before, it's not that I'm against Buell. I just want them to compete on equal terms and have an American racing effort that I can be proud of!

If Eslick wins the Daytona Sportbike championship, I'm not gonna be proud or impressed.

Listen, I'm just saying there was a reason the oil was and is no longer in the swingarm. Thats all. Also, the fuel "tank" also holds 5.3 gallons. How much more do they need and how much do jap bikes hold? Near 5 gallons, right?

Yea like I said, I'm mixing the two efforts. Last year, Buell "had" to use a different frame (normally against the rules) to get a higher fuel capacity. Anyway, I really hadn't meant to go into Buell bashing territory with this thread. Sorry.

My ZX has 4.2 gallons. I am willing to bet that the 600s get better mileage under race conditions but I have not seen anyone run out this year in DSB. Even with the pace laps behind whomever?
